Assuming you mean a 2006 M Coupe, most pull the alignment pins, and take it to a shop to have the alignment done, and get around -1.4 (+/- 0.3) on the fronts. I pulled the pin and was only able to get -1.0 No real DIY information since most aren't going the alignments them self.

Sounds like you'd better let an expert at a good performance alignment shop handle this for you...

Alignment pin [ item 1/2] [ ignore the arrow, pic is recycled]
Attachment 359528


Camber bolt shim kit for Z4M:
http://www.turnermotorsport.com/html..._ID=TSU3690036

"you can change your camber by shimming the strut and spindle with the TMS bolt kit. " ~~$16.00
Each washer adds ~~ 0.5 degree negative camber. Locktite suggested on the bolt.

Attachment 359529

Alternatively, BMW sells a thinner bolt to replace part#5, allows you to tilt knuckle before tightening it down. That's covered in other threads.

ttt, instead of starting a new thread.

I'm going to pull the camber pins for a track session. (no alignment)
Just wondering which way will this move the toe?
